NameSmash has interviewed Garth Bruen, Internet security expert and creator of Knujon, on some key issues under discussion during the recent ICANN meetings in San Francisco. Topics include Whois, DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs)—issues of critical importance particularly with ICANN’s expected roll-out of thousands of new gTLDs in the coming years.
